Wasn't the Archduke Serbian too?

Correct, I failed to differentiate prince from archduke. Typing fast and thinking of something else may well have caused me to gum up Austrian royalty titles, but this error on my part in no way deters my postion regarding the immorality of waging a war on Iraqi people who've done nothing to the people of the United States.

And consider also it was that event which became tinderbox to what widened into a world war.

By the way, here's the scoop on the archduke:

>>>The eldest son of Emperor Franz Joseph's younger brother Carl Ludwig, Franz Ferdinand became the hier-apparent following the death of Crown Prince Rudolf in 1889, and his own father in 1896.<<<

""Prince"? LOL. I'm assuming - at my own peril, I know - that you're talking about Archduke Ferdinand."

LPS, you should have led with the pauper, if only to distinguish between fact and fiction ;-).
